We all started on a 6 day loop hike in the Dirty Devil. Our route took us up No Man's Canyon, across the top, down the Not-Mindbender fork of Robber's Roost, then back to the car.

The day we planned to descend Not-Mindbender was cold and windy with a chance of rain. We decided to by-pass it, but camp in position in Robber's roost that we could return and descend the next day. In the end we choose to not do that. In 2010 I returned and did the descent as a day trip. Turned out the canyon was quite narrow and wet. I don't know that it would have been wet on this trip, but I'm glad we didn't risk it in the cold weather we had.
